Unless otherwise indicated, all photos in this collection are geotagged and can be seen on the Flickr maps. Just click Map whenever you are on the photostream's thumbnails pages. If you are on an individual photo's page, click map in the "Additional Information" section of the page. The whole collection can also be seen in loc.alize.

If you want to look only at the photos (without description), they look pretty good on black in Flickriver:

Here are a few interesting websites and Flickr photostreams about Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi (in alphabetical order). Each one contains links to other sites that are equally absorbing.

-- Casimir Zagourski: Postcard Collection (Yale University).
-- Galerie Philippe Schrauben. "Photographies d'art anciennes et documents ethnographiques rares sur l'Afrique Noire. "
-- Kigali Wire, Blogging from Rwanda, by Graham Holliday: "Rwanda has made huge strides forward since the 1994 genocide and it places a great deal of emphasis on the role of the Internet for future development. It is my hope that [Kigali Wire] can go some way towards creating a working model of how to publish information online across the whole web, rather than just on a tiny wee bit of it." See for example this excellent Rwanda Retrospective.
-- pgkivu, the Flickr account of Pierre Gallez, extremely interesting for people who lived in Bukavu, Kivu, in the 1940s and 50s.
-- Stanleyville/Kinsangani, hier et aujourd'hui, the website of Jean-Luc Ernst.
-- Stiopka: Photos de Bukavu et de Kinshasa. "Ce site n'a d'autre ambition que de proposer aux amis du Congo des documents photographiques de Bukavu et de Kinshasa, de jadis et d'aujourd'hui..."
-- The DR Congo at 50. Fifty portraits of Congolese by Stephan Vanfleteren, presented by BBC News.
-- The Royal Museum for Central Africa.

Please let me know if you know other sites that should be mentioned here. Thanks in advance.
